Change in forum feedback mechanism

[semyonkirov 29,038]

Tankers,

We have just reworked the feedback mechanism in the forums.

You can still LIKE posts. However, from now on, if there’s something you disagree with, you will have to express your criticism in the form an actual post.

Why did we do this?

Because the forum is where you come to express your opinions, as well as give your feedback and critique — it’s a place for open discussion.

But when that feedback is just a DISLIKE button, there’s no dialog. There’s no way of understanding what the criticism is about, and no way of acting on it to make the situation better.

A simple DISLIKE button does not improve the discussion, and it does not make the community or the game a better place.

We hope this change will help improve dialog in the forum, for all the above reasons and more.

Please feel free to share your opinions about this change by leaving a comment below. As always, the more detailed your feedback, the more helpful it will be.

Not good. Not good at all.

[Cor7y 13,862]

No ! If the downvote button was here, I would have Downvoted Semyon's post 300% :angry:

 

Go on, Tanki, convert the forum into Facebook. The Forum and Game were so good at the start of 2015, but you corrupt mods and devs had to ruin it, of course.

Pointless, really...could just stay by the old mechanism and focus on something more important

[TheGoldenTanker 4,951]

RIP downvote button :(

 

"Like this, unlike this?" Seriously? Now the forum is now just like Facebook  :angry:

 

But at least you won't get people making tons of accounts dedicating to only ruin your reptuation by flooding you with down votes anymore.

 

As MAFIOS0 said in October 14th in this thread ---> http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=289706&p=5069501 (on page one)

 

" By removing the downvote button players are now forced to explain why they don't like the update in a comment. Leaving a dislike does not help the developers understand what is wrong with a new update."

Will we be able to view the number of likes on a post?

Oh Heyll No! That is such a terrible idea. How will new Ideas be considered if they only get Liked, they need a reality check! Down-Votes are a good function because it gives people an idea of what they're posting is bad/unappreciated/inappropriate. This is one of the worst Updates Tanki has EVER made!

[lukey0 27,543]

Pointless IMO.

 

Get sick of all the -400 on all your posts? Look at the updates, need I say more.

 

The dislike button was fine, now this whole "like system" is basically the same as Facebook.

[MeTrIKSS78 272]

Thank you 

[r_Soldier280 478]

I'll go find a way to exploit this thing. :lol:

 

I think you did this thing coz u were hurt when people Downvoted your post (The update where lots of people Downvoted his post.)

Yes, as on any social media.

 

For example, if a post gets 20 likes, it will say sth like:

 

"John, James, Tom and 17 others like this."

[r_Mult0 53]

damn , why man , i like dislike button : ( 

[Scientist 4,224]

Wow, interesting!

Not quite. One of the reasons, close to the one you suggested, was that lots of dislikes prevent a player from giving honest opinion. If a post, whether it's by us or by other tanker, has -20, most players wouldn't give it their honest feedback as they get a first impression from the dislike number, without even reading the post.

[RamzanTheGreat 471]

Very good becz mults and nubs also hater dislike the posts for nothing but a little no good reason -_- -_- ;)

[FatalError 336]

Good)

Oh mah gawd!! Semyon Replied to meh.

 

Orrr You could have just added a System that, if You Downvote u have to Post something and it won't let u leave the page.. Something like those.

So in future you can not take a simple look at the like-to-dislike ratio...

I hope you stocked up community managers or you guys/girls got a decent raise, because else I wonder how you could handle this increased amount of workload with the same amount of work-hours.

 

See spoiler for what this change implies:

 

 

lets assume tanki brings a new update and players start to comment on 20..100 pages:

Then the community managers would have to:
- read much more posts

 

- To see how many people agree you have to :

keep track manually of each positive/agreeing posts and multiplying each of it with its individual number of likes it received (as this increases the number of players that agree to the update)

 

- To see how many people disagree you have to :

keep track manually of each negative/disasgreed posts and multiplying each of it with its individual number of likes it received (as this increases the number of players that disagree to the update)

 

 

 

 

 

In my honest opinion you should really add a poll to each of the threads in which you inform us about updates and changes. Polls with meaningfull and worthy answers. If you dare to :P

 

 

ps: to all players: feel free to use the votingCounter post on the next page to up/downvote the idea in general

C`mon Tanki,what`s next? Add corner protection so babies wont hurt themselves? Fence around electric generators and factories so baby tankers dont go in dangerous areas?

This is a shame,not allowing us to express our feelings

You developers should think outside the box!

Let's spam the Thread. xD  ^_^  ^_^

[ksa_enus 248]

Why , Just why did you delete the downvote button , tanki is getting even worse , just bcz you got more than 400- on tankers day?

[Barra 1,445]

I like the change but "upvote" button should remain here. As said, it will become just like Facebook and "upvote" button was unique for Tanki Online Forum.
